In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
The fire of Allah kindled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
نار الله الموقدة
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
Which leaps up over the hearts,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
It shall be made into a vault over them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
In columns outstretched.
في عمد ممددة
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
